Changes in work and family roles as more women are
entering the work force prompt a re-examination of how
couples make work and family decisions. Research confirms
that influence is an important component of the decision-making
process. Because of the recent changes in women's
paid work roles, women may now...
The study collected data using ARCGIS Field Maps from a field survey of plants at six (6) sites in Fairfield County, CT. The sites included three (3) urban and three (3) suburban locations. A primary goal of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the extent of...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a native remnant forest in Westport, Connecticut. The study site is a fragmented woodland located near a highly urbanized area of roadways and development. Preliminary descriptive information was collected for a partial sampling of tree stands in an attempt to obtain baseline...

It has been hypothesized that horizontal gene/chromosome transfer and parasexual recombination following hyphal fusion between different strains may contribute to the emergence of wide genetic variability in plant pathogenic and other fungi. However, the significance of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility responses, which commonly result in cell death, in preventing these processes...
Endogenous small RNAs (endo-siRNAs) interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to mediate
sequence-specific regulation of diverse biological processes. Here, we combine deep-sequencing and
genetic approaches to explore the biogenesis and function of endo-siRNAs in C. elegans. We describe
conditional alleles of the dicer-related helicase, drh-3, that abrogate both RNA interference and...
